May I offer my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mr Espinoza. Be assured of Gods loving care at this sad time. Prayer won't eliminate your pain, but it will help to ease it. The pain, grief and feelings of helplessness of losing your loved one can seem unbearable. Please find comfort in knowing that God cares and understands your pain. At 2Kings 20:5, he says," I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. I am healing you..." I hope this brings you comfort and helps you cope with your loss.
